what wonderful news! i always stop by the site every morning to read the day's post and it has become a necessary part of my day. i am looking forward to the book coming out, it will definitely be on my list of books to buy!

I'd love to receive your new cookbook! I'm one of those people who likes to read a cookbook before I go to sleep at night. Maybe my food dreams aid in meal planning for the next day. I always enjoy your blog.

How exciting! Congrats! A few of the "older" recipes send me down memory lane. I'm Mennonite as well and my grandma use to make the strawberry dessert (can't remember the name) all the time! What a wonderful testimony off faith and God's timing as you waited for someone to contact you. Wonderful!

All the information that I've wondered about for the past few minutes is right here! Spring 2011...I'll be saving my pennies. Off to read that press release. My congratulations to each and every member of MGCC. You gals rock!

I am so excited to hear that y'all will be having a book! I prefer cookbooks i can feel and touch. I've tried two recipes posted recently and am thrilled with the results. I'm looking forward to the cookbook in spring!

Oh my, I am ecstatic! What terrific news. From the first post onwards this blog had the makings of a cookbook. Now, in addition to popping in here for inspiration for food, housekeeping ideas and fellowship, one can rummage through the pages of this delightful book. I am so excited for each of you. The book will bless others in so many ways and the proceeds are going to such a wonderful and selfless cause. Congrats ladies!

Congratulations on the cookbook. Your post is a daily read. As my husband doesn't share my Mennonite heritage and I no longer live in a Mennonite setting you have become my bridge to the past. How better than to remember with foods like I had as a child and thus evoking memories of my home, my Grandmother and a particular aunt who was the best baker in the world.

How exciting! Congrats, and best wishes as you continue to bring us more lovely recipes. I just made some pumpkin pie the other day, and was happy to use a recipe found here, knowing it would be great!

Wow! Congratulations! I am one of those cooks who checks your blog every single day, and refer back often for a recipe idea or tutorial. Thank-you for all of this and for sharing so graciously with us in cyberland. I look forward to the cookbook... what cook's shelf doesn't have room for just one more?! :) Blessings, Marg N

YEAH! I am so proud of you all for sharing your favorite recipe's with us. It is so fun cooking and baking these, knowing that they will all turn out wonderful, and especially since they are my heritage too. My husband, children and grandchildren can vouch for this.Blessings to you all!

I found a link on another blog for a couple of your recipes....AWESOME! And now we will have a chance to have all the scrumptious recipes in a book!Can't wait to see it, and hope I win one! Wishing you God's best blessings as you work on His project in His timing!

I must say, I have tears in my eyes right now! I am absolutely thrilled for all of you. Lovella, for your inkling of an idea for something you love to do and how it has blossomed into a published book! May God continue to bless you all.

How exciting! How on earth with you make your selections?! I can't imagine narrowing down the recipes to fit into a book! Everything I try is wonderful and is quickly added to my own collection. May you all continue to be blessed during this journey!

What a blessing your blog has been to me. I really love your Bread for the Journey day. Your recipes and comments are great and you are a great bunch of friends. I have a mentally disabled daughter and we love to cook together. God bless you and congrats on your cookbook!

I'm so excited for your new book. If I don't win it I will be picking one up when they are available for sure. I have made so many delicious recipes from this site, I am starting to sound like an advertisement when people ask where I get my recipes, it is so often "Oh, the Mennonite Girls Can Cook" website.

Wow, a professionally published cookbook, that is FANTASTIC!!!! You girls are full of surprises. I check the blog every day and love to use your recipes, many of which have become family favourites. Looking forward to adding a copy of the book to my collection!

Congratulations to each and every one of you! How exciting! I would be so happy to be the recipiant of a complementary copy. I do come to your site first when I'm looking for a recipe. I've found new favorites here and hints to give stuff a new twist. THanks for all you do!

I've place my order - I've been hoping an actual recipe book would be available at some point. What a great avenue for God to use to help people and show His love. Thanks girls for your commitment to this project - we all benefit from it.

Congratulations! My kids are every bit as much as familiar with MGCC as I am. My son heard me say that you were going to pulish a book. His comment was, "they aced that one!". Well done girls! Thank you so much for following God's call on your life!

Oh Congratulations! I'm so excited for all of you! It must be such a great feeling that so many have found their way here and then back to their own kitchens to try out your fabulous recipes! So very happy for you all!~Maria

Oh congratulations, girls! I read your blog every day and have made so many of your recipes. I not only love your food, but I love the integration of your faith. Many blessings as this project continues to move forward!Melissa in Lynden, WA

I'm so delighted for you all! I just found your blog maybe eight or nine months ago but I enjoy it so much. I come from American Swiss Mennonites, but so many of the recipes do overlap, don't they? Can't wait to see your new book!!!

When I first saw the Mennonite Girls Can Cook website, I wondered if there would be a book. Later, while making the recipes, I dreamed there would be a book. Then, when searching for recipes without the use of a computer, I prayed for a book.

YEAH... my prayers have been answered and I thank all the girls for their hard work producing this wonderful website and now the book.

Congratulations! I know you are all very excited. God is so faithful and again He has blessed you as you waited patiently on Him. I stumbled on your blog, but I have been visiting every day since then, and it has been a great encouragement to me. The Lord has blessed you with each other, but He has also blessed all of you with hearts for others! Keep up the good work and thanks for all you do! Thanks for an opportunity to receive a copy of your book!

How Wonderful! I have shared your website with a group of mom's on a parenting site and I know many of them visit your blog ofte, as do I. I know your book will be a huge success! so excited for you all!

I am fairly new to your blog having discovered you only a few months ago but many of your recipes have appealed to me. Am excited for you to be printing your cookbook and can't wait for it to be out in print. Congratulations!

This is absolutely fabulous and very deserving to you all of you ladies that have contributed to this wonderful blog. Looking forward to seeing your cookbook in print. Congratulations to all of you.Blessings,AMY

This is great news. I cook for 3 men every day and the question at the table whenever something new shows up is: " Is this from the Mennonite Girls?" I will definitely give the book as a gift, and encourage others to pick it up. Helping to feed the hungry in the world is high on my priority list. God bless your efforts.

Ladies, I am proud of you as mothers who love to cook and now have the opportunity to share that further and in another than this great website... i check every day as part of my morning routine.What a truly wonderful blessing! And a great addition to my other cook books!

Congratulations! I check your site every day and have used many of your fabulous recipes. The latest was the Pumpkin Chiffon Pie, which the family raved about this weekend. Will definitely buy the book for myself and as gifts for others.

I am so excited!!! I found your blog about a month ago and have visited every day since and have tried several of your recipes and they have been great. I've not commented before but will start. I have often wished that you had a book out and now that wish will come true. Congratulations! Can't wait!Blessing,Kay
